  • Annual Report 2013-2014
    F.18a 2014 ANNUAL REPORT KiwiRail Overview From 1 January 2013, railway business activities were separated from rail land holdings as a result of a Government restructure carried out to put the business on a more commercial footing. The former parent, New Zealand Railways Corporation (NZRC), continued to hold the 18,000 hectares of rail network land, from which no financial return is expected. The business activities were transferred to a new State Owned Enterprise, KiwiRail Holdings Ltd. NZRC is managed by KiwiRail Holdings Ltd under a long-term nominal fee management agreement, and therefore has limited operational activities. We conduct business in the following areas: Whangarei Logistics: We are a logistics provider to customers who use Dargaville our rail freight and ferry services. Each week, approximately 900 freight trains operate on the KiwiRail network.

  • Full Report on Smokefree Signage at Railway Stations: a Survey of 54 Stations in 11 Local Government Areas
    Full Report on Smokefree Signage at Railway Stations: A Survey of 54 Stations in 11 Local Government Areas Nick Wilson, George Thomson ASPIRE 2025, University of Otago, Wellington February 2019 Background There is a wide literature on the use and significance of railway stations. Part of the significance lies in the large numbers of pedestrians who flow through the stations, particularly from commuter lines.1 Another aspect of this significance lies in the importance of arrival and departure places within social life and travel.2-4 Railway stations can have a wide range of social, health and other impacts,5 and they provide opportunities for promoting health in heavily used environments.6 They are ‘public spaces that are a gateway between diverse communities. Stations are also meeting places …. somewhere to socialize or as a way to access local activities… [They] add to the economic, sociability and diverse vibrancy of communities’.7 Within the literature on railway stations, there is a considerable focus on design and other features to reduce adverse behaviour, across a spectrum from litter and loud music to violence.8 Some of the research around the use of, and behaviour at, railway stations has also looked at ways to communicate to station users.9 10 Settings at which crowds can gather are relatively high priority areas for smokefree policies, given the potential for exposure to secondhand smoke and smoking normalisation. Making these settings smokefree should contribute to denormalising smoking, which helps quitting and reduces uptake.11 12 For railway stations, there is very limited research around the smokefree status, despite the large numbers of people using them in many countries.
